President Trump on Tuesday alluded to impending talks about gun control laws following the Las Vegas massacre, though he added no clarity about whether the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history had moved his stance on the issue.

“We'll be talking about gun laws as time goes by,” Trump told reporters outside the White House before boarding a flight for Puerto Rico, where he will spend the day surveying damage from Hurricane Maria. He is planning to visit Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Trump said that "what happened in Las Vegas is in many ways a miracle," because of how quickly police responded to the shooting, even though it took about an hour and a half to burst into the shooter’s 32nd floor hideout.

Trump later tweeted that cops stopped Paddock “from even more killing,” even though the shooter took his own life before police found him.

In the two days since the concert bloodbath, which killed at least 59 people and left more than 500 injured, Trump has said little about the shooter or the larger issues of gun control and mass shootings in America.

Trump made no explicit mention of Paddock or gun violence in his early statements about the massacre. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters it was too soon to judge Paddock’s motives or to start talks about gun policy.

Trump’s hesitance stands in stark contrast to his reaction to recent attacks, domestically and abroad, that were committed by radical Islamic killers. Trump has habitually publicized unconfirmed information about the suspects and pushed some of his favored policies, such as his travel ban on majority-Muslim countries, only hours after other massacres.

Trump vowed as a candidate and President to fight any serious restrictions on the Second Amendment, and there is little reason so far to believe the Las Vegas rampage will change his mind.
